On this SELECTED SHORTS host Meg Wolitzer presents two works by the dazzling writer Joan Didion, whose essays, novels, and memoirs have been beloved by generations of readers.  This sophisticated, knowing artist placed herself squarely in her reportage, telling her own story vividly and courageously.  We’ll hear excepts from two of her best-known works, The White Album, in which she reports on her own mental collapse in the madness of California in the 1960s, and Goodbye to All That, in which her youthful self falls in, and out of, love with New York City.  Jill Eikenberry performs The White Album and Mia Dillon shares Goodbye to All That.

Deed of Truss: Britain’s new leader

Après avoir découvert que son petit frère Antoine, âgé de 32 ans, fumait de l’héroïne depuis plusieurs années, Étienne décide de l’accueillir chez lui à Paris pour l’aider à vaincre son addiction. Durant près de 3 ans de vie commune, Étienne enregistre leurs discussions et raconte leur combat quotidien pour la réinsertion. Entre espoir et désillusion, moments de complicité, de fête et de disputes, les deux frères se rapprochent jusqu'à s’interroger sur leur relation. Que peut faire Étienne pour accompagner son frère ? Quelles sont les limites de l'aide que l'on peut apporter aux autres ? Confronté aux difficultés de la réinsertion dans un monde en déclin, ainsi qu’aux nombreuses tentations du nord-est parisien, Antoine va pourtant peu à peu sortir la tête de l’eau avant de connaître une fin tragique.

Etienne Karlen est coordinateur de parcours pédagogique à Paris. Il travaille sur un programme de recherche destiné aux personnes éloignées de l’emploi. C’est son premier podcast.

Nique mon frère la réinsertion

The Jiajing Emperor rounds out the back-half of his interminably long reign by hiding away in his personal palace, and only occasionally coming out to tell everyone what a terrible job they're all doing. The Mongols seize on Ming weakness to basically do whatever they want, and the Ming respond by turtling even harder and building more walls. Without an imperial guiding hand, the ministers are left to their own devices... with predictably selfish and myopic results.

#240 - Ming 27: The Solecism of Power

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.

The Female Orgasm

Quel est le son emblématique du sexe ? Remontez cette braguette, rangez votre musique d'ascenseur, cessez de gratter cette culotte de soie... il s'agit du "han" propre à la pornographie - omniprésent sur nos écrans (en navigation privée, n'est-ce pas) mais aussi dans nos lits (vu la tendance contemporaine à se prendre pour des hardeurs). Que dit le "han", mais aussi, QUI dit le "han" - et pourquoi ? Grosses explications autour d'une petite onomatopée.
"Sexe & sounds", le podcast de Maïa Mazaurette tous les mardis sur ARTE Radio. 
Le sexe, tout le monde en parle - il paraît même qu'on en parle trop, et que ce serait du voyeurisme. Mais justement ! Parce que le voyeur utilise l'oeil, il a tendance à oublier l'oreille. Pour se réconcilier avec nos cinq sens, ARTE Radio propose chaque mardi "Sex & Sounds", le premier podcast dédié aux liaisons fructueuses entre plaisirs d'en-bas et sons d'en-haut. Des bruits du porno aux sextoys qui parlent, des langues de l'amour aux vibrations de nos jouets intimes, en passant par les mystères de l'ASMR et des musiques qui donnent envie...
